I have been a teacher since graduating from Washington State University in 1991 (Go Cougs!). I had the privilege of subbing for many local area school districts before landing my first job at Toutle Jr/Sr High. After spending 8 great years as a Fighting Duck, I went back to subbing in order to be a full-time mother and am now working on my 13th year at Castle Rock High School. My goal is to help your student become a creative thinker and life-long lover of the arts whether as a patron, performer, or hobbyist. The Arts help us communicate and make sense of the world as well as bring us joy and tranquility and I want your child to experience many opportunities to express him/herself creatively.
